    Communist parties participating in elections, bringing popular policy to the forefront, and radicalizing the working classes? That absolutely works and is absolutely useful.

    I have yet to see evidence of that in this country, like, ever at all.

    You want to dismantle the system, I get that, but while the system is here I’m going to do functional harm reduction while trying to dismantle it.

      This has been a successful strategy in existing socialist states, including the Russian revolution. You aren’t doing “harm reduction,” you’re morally justifying accelerationism to yourself.
